Explanatory Memorandum
The Directors of the Company recommend shareholders read this explanatory memorandum in full before making any decision in relation to the resolutions. The following information should be noted in respect of the various matters contained in the accompanying Notice.
Background to the Spill Meeting
At the 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM) more than 25% of votes cast were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for the 2016 financial year (a second strike). As a result, shareholders were required to vote on a resolution (spill resolution) on whether an extraordinary general meeting of the Company should be held (spill meeting) at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director (who may continue to hold office without re‐election under the ASX Listing Rules) must stand for re‐election, should they wish to continue as Directors. These requirements are as prescribed in section 250V of the Corporations Act.
The spill resolution (which is an ordinary resolution) was passed at the 2016 AGM. As such section 250V of the Corporations Act requires the Company to hold a spill meeting within 90 days after the spill resolution was passed. This is intended to serve as notice for that meeting.
Resolutions
Resolutions to be put to the meeting are as follows:
Resolution 1 – Re‐election of Mr Peter Wallace as a Director of the Company
Mr Wallace being a Director of the Company who will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 2 – Re‐election of Mr Tom Amos as a Director of the Company
Mr Amos being a Director of the Company who will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 3 – Re‐election of Mr Ed Goodwin as a Director of the Company
Mr Goodwin being a Director of the Company who will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 4 – Re‐election of Mr David Swift as a Director of the Company
Mr Swift being a Director of the Company who will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the spill meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re‐election as a Director of the Company.
Each of the above resolutions are ordinary resolutions, and will be passed if 50% of the votes cast by shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, by a corporate representative) are cast in favour of each Resolution.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors note that the Government’s stated intention of the “two strikes rule” was to empower shareholders to constrain remuneration arrangements that were clearly excessive. The Directors do not consider this to be the case for the Company. As described in the Remuneration Report for the 2016 financial year, members of the Company’s executive team have received minimal increases to their fixed remuneration over the past three years, whilst short and long term incentive payments have not fully met their trigger points and as such, limited incentive payments have been made.
The non‐executive directors’ remuneration has not changed since 1 January 2010.
Accordingly:
-
(a) the Directors (with Mr P Wallace abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
-
(b) the Directors (with Mr T Amos abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
-
(c) the Directors (with Mr E Goodwin abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
-
(d) the Directors (with Mr D Swift abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of Resolutions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
